I just renewed my subscription today, and after installation, It says "You're offline, please connect to the internet to use your VPN". I am, however, connected to the internet.
My settings are to Show Avast VPN Notifications, Automatically turn on when I'm connected to the internet, to ask me when it turns on, and also to exclude Trusted (private) networks (otherwise, it won't auto-connect). I also have my network setting set as a private network. These settings have been this way for 2 years. I tried changing to a public network, but no good.
I've got a Toshiba 32-64 bit laptop running Windows 7.
Any ideas? I haven't changed any other settings. Edit: I renewed AVAST Ultimate. Not just the VPN. Sorry.
Thanks.
